What's the "W" for?
Today at The Sideshow:
The ever-reliable Avedon Carol, proprietress of The Sideshow, is just a tiny bit off on this one, I think. What "W" REALLY stands for is "wuss.""The W stands for wrong," Mr. Kerry said in a riff on the president's middle initial at a labor picnic in Racine, W.Va.That's nice, and all, but let's get down to the cheese. This is the guy who choked in that school in Florida, then cowered on Airforce One while Rudy Giuliani, of all people, grabbed the spotlight. Then to show us how tough he is he spends the next three years blustering at everyone ("Bring it on!") from a safe distance. He's terrified of hecklers, he goes into a tailspin if a reporter asks him an obvious question. It seems like 90% of the domestic "security" he has built up in our country is meant to protect him from having to notice that some people have concerns about his leadership.
You know what he is, dammit, so go ahead and say it.
"W" stands for "wimp".
